I'm think it might be time on my 1999 F-150. What is everyone’s threshold for dropping down to liability only on a car? I’m think it might be time on my 1999 F-150.

We also have two teenagers. We get credit for not having any accidents/losses; for being homeowners; for having multi-cars. I shopped around a couple of months ago and no one could come within $300 of our premium. Nice! We pay $1300 a year for four vehicles with liability coverage only. We also have two teenagers.

My husband had had his license revoked when he couldn't pay a judgment against him. So now he's on SR-22 insurance, but we have him as an occasional driver. So we pay about $340 every 6 months.

Now we have dropped comp and collision on just the Mazda and we are down around $800. We were doing full coverage on a 2004 Saturn Ion and 2001 Mazda 626 for around $1100.

For two cars (2008 scion and 1997 tercel) it's about $1400 per year. It helps that the Tercel isn't worth much, and that I work a home -- so it doesn't get used that often. We spend a ton less.

We've had them for the last few years and have never had a problem. I even had a guy who wanted to sue me b/c I rearended him (going about 5 miles an hour on a parked freeway!) but esurance took care of it and my rates weren't even raised. Yay! From the numbers you posted, some folks are getting ripped off! $1700 per year for a 2008 Nissan Altima and a 2009 Nissa Frontier truck through esurance.
